Geography & Sustainability

The Geography and Sustainability discipline is a dynamic collective of teachers and researchers. Our work addresses urgent sustainability and social justice challenges including climate change adaptation, urban and regional transitions, environmental crises, disaster resilience, food security, inequality and human mobility. Students in our degrees are equipped to be change-makers, with the knowledge, skills and passion to advance social and environmental justice and sustainability in a volatile world.
